Yay Burakoam!!! I'm here too! I'm back again swaying for a DD for my DH. I was in your DD group the last time we swayed. My DS3 is almost 8 months now. How is your DD?
I'm giving you all of my blue baby dust [emoji597][emoji92][emoji170][emoji843][emoji170][emoji94]! It's the good kind! I mean, we make boys even when trying for a girl [emoji23]!
FX for you!!

Huge congrats Nessa!!
I just read the rest of the posts! So nice that we have more blue swayers!
I'm swaying pink, and everyone who is swaying pink has gotten pink so far. While I'm happy for them, I just fear that I will be the one to get blue.
Hopefully we will see more BFPs soon!!

XX, I remember you lol saw a while back you were gonna try one more sway too and was kind of hoping we'd end up chatting again. Angela is 9 months and fantastic :) biggest reason I am having one more is for her honestly her other two sisters are so much older than her and Angela LOVES babies lol.. She gets so excited and happy when she sees other babies. She has a preference for little boys so I am hoping..... I'll take all the blue dust you can throw �� Other day when I got my positive OPK our oldest had a 15 month old little boy attached to her hip at the park and he had the name we have picked out for our boy if we are so lucky... It is me hoping that was a 'sign' of sorts... Fingers are crossed..
Congrats Nessa!
I was expecting to get a pos opk yesterday, but today is day 4 of the flashing smiley. So we'll see.

Oh that's awesome Burakoam! I would definitely take that as a sign! I totally know what you mean wanting another for your DD3. My DS1 and DS2 are best friends, and while they adore my DS3, I worry about him when he gets older. My older boys will be in to different things, and I want him to have someone to play with. My Aaron loves to play with babies too. He gets so excited when there is a baby close to his age that he can play with.
Are you breastfeeding or bottle feeding Angela? I'm breastfeeding Aaron still, but he eats solids twice a day, and honestly, he could eat three times a day. He's so big! He's almost 21 pounds at 7.5 months! My cycle is all over the place from the breastfeeding. Aaron likes it still, so I'm keeping it up.
FX you caught the egg!

My Ovulation Chart
Breastfed her until 2-3 weeks ago when I started giving her a little more formula each day and now it's pretty 50/50 but overall I think she has more formula intake at this point. She loves breastfeeding but her two top teeth are in now and she has been leaving teeth marks and it feels like razors sometimes so I feel less guilty about weening her.. Lol. I know it's a latch issue but with TTC and the fact she is doing great on the formula and only has a few months before whole milk I am not super concerned about it.
She started solids at 4 months though and has done great on those since. She isn't a big fan of the stage 3 foods so for the most part I just let her have what we are having at this point so long as it's mashed/chopped well.
Omg what a big healthy boy you have got!!! Angela runs at the 50th percentile for weight but it's because she is so LONG she is in the 90 percentiles for length.
I sort of feel like that xxforhubby, when I was pregnant with ds2, I was in a dd group and I was late to find out gender the majority all had girls, I know biology does not work like that but I felt statistically someone has to have a boy, somebody, somebody has to you see, then the somebody somebody happened to be me. Out of 30 pregnancies there were two boys!
Am dpo don't have a notion, e4d's until af arrives. I felt more pregnant last month at this stage and I was not so maybe a good sign? How are you all feeling? X
Only weird thing I got going on is i *swear* my uterus is buzzing. Not sure that's a symptom of anything and I'm just crazy. Lol
Well. Last month when I was pregnant I was having all kinds of symptoms and this time, nada. Well, almost. I've been getting mild headaches and pretty extreme fatigue, but, this can all be normal cycle stuff. I am 99% sure I am out this cycle. Sigh. Then just one last attempt at girl swaying before I pack it in.

6 DPO here and zero symptoms, which I guess is normal. I might test around 12 DPO, not before that.
In my first pregnancy it took 7 days past my period due day to get a positive in a test strip. I took 2 tests before that and was repeating every 2 days and still nothing. I had implantation bleeding 10 DPO and around 14DPO I got really bad pain in my boobs.
What, in your opinion, is the best HPT? I read bad reviews lately about FRER, a lot of false positives... and also problems with clearblue... Which tests do you use? I still have lots of strips but although the package says extra sensitive, they won't work until a week after AF is due, which is soooo boring!
I am similar, don't have a clue what dpo I am, but my af usually arrives cd 25, currently on cd 18, had a really late O last month so af did not arrive until cd 30, I never have two long cycles in a row. My temps are starting to dip and I have zero symptoms, I do have extreme exhaustion but like you said I had that last month and wondered if it was a sign, it clear was not! I have a wee pot belly this morning, always a sign of af, at least it will arrive early this month and I can move on to August, cannot believe it I would have expected to be nearly through the first trimester by now! I have stuck to the diet and exercise this time, though I dropped exercise down to 5 days. Feel good about that, so will be on for August! XQuote:

Good luck everyone, fingers crossed for us all x
The earliest BFPs I have got were 10dpo (DS2 and mc#2) and they were with FRERs. This current pregnancy I got a BFN on 10dpo (although it had the 'shadow line') and then the BFP was 15dpo. I probably would have got a BFP earlier but I wasn't testing since I had AF!
The ebay strips are always really faint but the earliest I have seen a super faint BFP is 11dpo. They aren't very sensitive at all, I tested Sunday and it wasn't that dark even though my levels were 2500 on Monday morning, I was so surprised when I heard that was my level!
I don't like tests with blue dye as I have been tricked by one of those before too. I'm not really sure which are the best, I think they all have issues when testing early as shadow lines or evaps can give false hope. It is probably better waiting until later to test but that can be hard to resist!
Darn, FF changed my crosshairs this morning. I thought I should be 4dpo but they moved my ovulation day back 1 day so now I'm only 3 dpo. 1 more day added on for waiting to test :(
I already have a boy and swaying for a girl this time! We will only have 2, so this is the last chance! :)

Good luck to all testing soon, I am waiting till 12dpo so it will be next Friday for me! Girlieplease asda do one which is only £1 and it seems ok, I used them when I had a chemical last time and m/c in December.
I would love to have a symptom. I keep thinking I have them every month but its my imagination, I do seem to have some back pain at the moment but considering I'm only 2dpo I know its nothing, I just hope they are not late OV pain as we DTD for the last 3 days and hubby is now away.
Its great to see so many blue swayers this month, wishing you lots of luck and dust, really hoping after 4 months it might be my turn, cant cope with any more weight on xxx
I currently feel like death... I am so bloated I feel swollen and tender. Guess that's a good sign I got some progesterone doing its job... But owie I am uncomfortable...I think I popped the egg yesterday at some point... Was super hot last night couldn't cool off to save my life.. Late afternoon today is when the bloating started so timing makes sense. Will know for sure in 14 days when I either have a positive test or bleed or don't..
Burakoam that sounds promising, sounds like something is definitely happening. I never trust symptoms in the 2 ww as I was so convinced I was pregnant in Jan and it was not the case. For me symptoms of early pregnancy and af are similar. Am cd 19, no real symptoms to mention. Af normally arrives cd 22-27, average is 25. But I had a really long cycle last month and when that happens the next month usually is short so we will see. Least it would mean af come early and can on to August. Good luck everyone! Only symptoms I have actually are greasy hair and bloating but these are usual signs of af!
Does or did anyone check their ph? Mine is only at 6 and from what I have read that's to low for conceiving a boy :(. I have stuck to the diet and supplements religiously, drank lemon water too and it's just not moving!
I might try the baking soda finger during ovulation - has anyone else tried that? X
I think ph has been ineffective method of conceiving boy or girl, people on this site I think are not monitoring it as I think too many people got opposites with perfect ph!
Cd26 today and have pink spotting :(
AF will be just around the corner. Am going to gp as my cycles are all over the place now.
Good luck everyone else for this month!

Sorry about that Jennypenny! Good luck for next month!!!
I am on CD23 today, going in for progesterone testing tomorrow morning. I have ov issues, so my doctor prescribed Femara CD3-7 and progesterone CD17-CD26, expecting AF CD30.
I called a local lab and I can do a blood HCG test without any prescription, if I don't feel PMS I might go in for testing CD30 (which will be 14dpo). One more week to go!

Dreaming blue I'm not bothering with PH. I have only done BS finger once and it didn't agree with me!! When I say that I mean I had loats of watery discharge straight away and felt wet for ages afterward (this was on cd 10 or something) I think my body reacted to it and tried to flush it out. It stung a bit too and made me "puffy". I know they use it a lot on some forums but I've stuck with preseed as it seems to agree with me more, which I think has a neutral or just slight alkaline ph.
good luck Maggie that's not long to wait. for some reason the tww seems to go past so slowly. I'm only 3dpo :( so at least another 9 days to wait for me xxx
Thank you for your responses. I won't bother to much with it then and stick with the preseed:).
Good luck for next month Jennypenny.
Good luck Maggie
X
I agree that atomic and others have pretty much debunked the PH theory. So you are fine. I actually was using pre seed after the positive OPK even when we didn't DTD.. Was hoping it would make me more friendly to the little boys... We will see and even if I am pregnant and get a boy it may be coincidence but also probably can't hurt!
Waste of time at gp!
He had no idea what he was doing! Spent most of the time trying to get me to order a book called 'understanding fertily ' he sat browsing through Amazon for 10 minutes looking for it!!!- even after I had told him I already understand my fertily.
He then looked through a doctor's book admiring the layout, and found something about testing progesterone.
He said to come back one week before my next period is due to test progesterone levels. Does anybody know if this sounds correct?
So stressed out!

Ugh! I would've been mad too!
Progesterone is usually done on CD21, so depending on how long your cycles are that may work out to be a week before your period is due. Just make sure he orders is ahead of time and the blood is drawn as close to CD21 as possible. CD19-23 is fine since CD21 can be on a Saturday or Sunday for some people.

So annoying jennypenny! I got a positive on wondfo today, CD 19, but I'm not really sure because of the CP. I'm traveling and ran out of the CB digital sticks yesterday, I didn't think I'd need so many. Anyway, hope this is really o, I haven't been temping either because of travel so I'm not going to have all the info I wanted. But maybe that's good for a girl sway. ; ) Hope so!

Thanks xxforhubby! ! If I wasn't so hormonal and emotional it would have been really funny!!
He had no idea at all. He looked at a doctor's manual eventually looking through the pages muttering "infertility, infertility, infertility '
Then asked me my age (32) then said, 'hmmm,I wouldn't think it would be menopause, do u get any hot flushes? '
Grrrrr!!!
I will ensure it is cd21 that I go to get bloods taken. Will go to my usual doctor next time though.
Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
Jennypenny do you track when you ovulate? The progesterone test should be done 6-7 days after ovulation. So if you only ovulate on CD18, going on CD21 won't tell you what you need to know. If you are having differing length periods that means you are ovulating at different times most likely as LP's usually stay the same.
I usually ovulate cd14/15 and cycle length is 28/29 days. Usually start spotting from day 26 for a few days before AF starts full force.
This month though I had random spotting cd16/17 which I though must be late ovulation (I don't usually have ovulation spotting) pretty random! !
Hopefully I have have a regular ovulation in august and can get some acurate readings from blood results on cd21.
Thanks for all your advice everyone xxx

Jenny- my cycles were like that before I got pregnant with my daughter... Between 27-36 cd's long but always different. It went on for 6 months before I went back to my doctor who said to him that sounded like I wasn't ovulating. He put me in clomid and I got pregnant that month. Keep in mind I was getting flashing smileys and solids so per my OPKS I was ovulating but it sure seems that wasn't the case since one cycle of clomid and bam that's all it took..I would maybe seek out a different Doctor Jenny...
Thank you burokoam, can i ask what tests did your doctors did to discover that you were not ovulate?
I will definitely pursue this with a different doc.
Not sure where u r from, but here in UK you really need the nhs gp to refer you to specialists. It's such a long process grrr!
Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
I'm from USA. My tests and hormone panel were normal actually so they had no reason at first to suspect I wasn't ovulating, it was my symptoms I was describing and a lack of achieving pregnancy though supposedly pin pointing ovulation. I was hyper emotional, felt like I was having hot flashes at times and my cycles were never the same month to month. One month it would be 28 days next it would be 32 then 27 then 36. He also suspected despite my normal hormone panel I had some mild form of PCOS so I think that's why he did what he did.. And it worked so I only assume he was right.
My temp is 99.5 ladies. Haven't temped regularly since my last baby but I remember it was around this high when I ovulated on clomid. Errrrggg trying to not get excited. Failing lol
jenny I am in the uk. Firstly you need to have 21 day blood tests. Although called this as others have said they need to be roughly 6/7 days after ov, 21 days is besed on a perfect 28 day cycle. This will tell if you are ovulating or not. You may need to go back for 2 of these over 2 months. Next port of call is clomid. In the uk they seem reluctant to hand it out, mainly because unlike in the USA or elsewhere, clomid alone will not have you monitored with scans etc to check for follicle growth or to ensure no OHHS. You should get clomid no bother from a gp but they will usually only give you 3 cycles on it. After then unfortunately you need to refer for further testing usually at an assisted fertility unit where they can do scans, take further blood tests and discuss where to go next. If its a blockage on your tubes etc it can be treated. The main hurdle you may face is sadly, like me, you have children already and depending where you live etc you will not qualify for free treatment to conceive or IVF. Obviously if you need to go down one of the more extreme ways to conceive be prepared to have to pay privately :( Fingers crossed it wont come to that but just so your aware theres only so far you can go with the NHS when you have children already. IVF in the UK costs between 5-7k depending on why its needed and for me, if I'm paying that, I'm going abroad for PGD to get the sex I want. You cannot specify which sex you want over here as its illegal :( grrr......
I'm hoping it will be something simple sorted so go back, see another GP and say you don't think you are ovulating and you have been tracking it for months. Blood tests should be first then clomid if you are found to be not ovulating. If you are I'm afraid it will be a sperm count for your DH and a scan for you to check for anything abnormal physically. Don't just let them fob you off. all the luck in the world xxx
Jennypenny I hope you get some answers and get your cycles regulated.
Am cd 20 tomorrow, but am super bloated and feel af is on the way, I had a short lp last month 8 or 9 days. Atomic recommended I increase eggs to 4- 6 per week a portion of diary every day and one portion of red meat per week, I had hoped that would have resolved short lp, so disappointed that it has not worked. According to ff my timing was spot on this month, this is such a disappointing and frustrating process. Good luck to everyone else still in, keep everything crossed for you all x
Anyone get EWCM even after ovulation?
Crap I think i jumped the gun.... Something isn't right... I just couldn't believe the heaps of EWCM I've had today so I took another OPK and its solid... Like beyond solid actually. Solid face is there but the result line is the darkest result line I've ever had and that's counting a clomid cycle.. The line on Saturday was the same shade as the test line... This line is mega dark. Last time I DTD was yesterday and hubby wouldn't touch me today so I'm depressed. I think I screwed up my own boy sway because of the solid smiley on Saturday :(
Attachment 32173
What cd are you? I had loads of EWCM last month Pretty much throughout the whole month but I think it was an annovulatory cycle in my case. I would try and jump hubby as much as poss if you can, that's how (in amongst lots of other very boy friendly ways) I inadvertently conceived my three boys! Hips up on a pillow and a long lie after too!xQuote:
